Replacing the Operating temperature enhancement kit

Use this information to replace the Operating temperature enhancement kit in the server.

Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.

If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to slide the server out from the rack enclosure, turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.

To replace the Operating temperature enhancement kit, complete the following steps.

  1. Connect the Operating temperature enhancement kit to the system board (see System-board internal connectors for the location of the Operating temperature enhancement kit connector on the system board).
  2. Route the cable along the chassis. Make sure the relevant cables pass through the cable clips.

    Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.
  3. Route the cable through the cable holder and slide the Operating temperature enhancement kit into the connecting slot on the hard disk drive cage until the Operating temperature enhancement kit locks into place with an audible click.
